Phozon posts pics of the “Lunchtime LASER project”, a follow-up to one of his previous works. The pocket-sized light show is put in motion by what appears to be two CPU fans and power comes courtesy of a spare USB port. Lunchtime LASER = awesome.
Glad to see someone else saw the flat surface of the CPU fan as a great place to glue a mirror! Nice use of heat sinks as a way to mount this thing.
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen and I have access to plenty of old computer parts. So where is a how to and plans for this cool gizmo including and USB harness wiring diagram.
GREAT make project!!!

Wow, cant believe some people actually like my little creation! Had a broken USB dongle lying around and thought this fits perfectly. Just check here:

This is the most clever design of this type of laser show, ever. Very nicely done.
